You have a very good chance of getting in. I don't know about how much money though if you need it.They can be very generous, but the top money(more than half tuiton) is given to scores of 1300 and above. I know of 2 1400+ that got about full. They also like diversity also and are looking to balance the male/female ratio with more men too and that is an added plus. It's a nice school, but small if you don't mind that aspect.

Rank: 39 out of 377. GPA: 4.072
3 Ap classes this year/2 honors
I've been taking honors ever since freshman year
my grades are very unstable. freshman year bad (well, 3 As and the rest Bs anyway), sophmore year straight As, junior year mainly As (like 2 Bs or something), this year...er. 5 As, 2 Bs, one C (don't shoot me! AP Chem is hard...)
SATs...here comes the horrible part...1640. Gasp! But I'm almost certain I've gone up because I retook it and the first time I was really tired.
So...yeah. Oh, and I'm African American, if that helps. And a girl.
